Hey folks ! I am looking into a break service on my Ecr33 and I ran into a dilemma concerning my front rotors options. Id like to have the same brand on all 4 corners  but since I am in Canada I have a hard time finding the 296x30 front rotors . My local speed shop can get me either DBA / Dixcel or BREMAXX . Now for the price of the 2 fronts on either DBA or Dixcel he can source me all 4 rotors and pads from Bremaxx. I try to search them online and only thing that seems to come up are Ebay AU auctions and I cant find a webpage or any other information on this brand. Any of you guys have had experience with this or any other suggestions ?

I think it is very simple.  DBA are not expensive brake parts.  They are not at the bottom of the price lists, but they certainly are not expensive.  (For proof, look at how many kidneys you have to sell to buy equivalent Brembo or Project Mu rotors!).  And DBA are known to be very good quality.

Bremaxx.  Never heard of them.  But given the choice of spending a small amount of money on unknown mystery quality brake parts, or double the money on known good quality stuff, I don't even ask the question.

Yea , DBA was my first pick also. They must be cheap for you guys since the company is local but with the import and currency exchange they are about same thing here in Canada as the other brands. I do know that some products are not available here and since I only seen the Bremaxx for sale in Australia I was wondering if you guys heard of them. I'm used to seeing overpriced stuff here in Canada so I cant really make a judgement based on the price and that's why I asked.

 

Thanks for your input !

Bremaxx sounds like some Chinese rotor, probably fine for easy street driving but would expect them to start warping with decent heat pumped into them.

Considering you're in Canada (big temperature swings), I'd spend a bit more and get DBA.

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
